THE KANAKAs KINGDOM.
Some Timely Information Suggested ~
Queen Kapiolani's Visit.

Some Timely Information Suggestod -
Queen Kapiolani's Visit.
The visit of Queen Kapiolani to this coun-
try recalls the fact that there is such acountry
as Hawaii, and that it is indulging in The
luxury of royal family.
II also creates q demand for consignment
of knowledge respecting It.
The kingdom is composed of Swelve islands,
which lie IN dampspot ofthe Pacific ocean.
Only seven are inhabited, as the remaining
five have never been cut up into building
lots.
Although there is nothing in progress
which might be called boom, there Is q
considerable movement i'm real estate IN the
Sandwich Islands.
The movement is caused by earthquakes,
which frequently congregate there to hold
picnic, attracted doubtless by the delusive
name of the kingdom.
A mariner by the name Of Gaetano ran
against one of these islands in the dark in
l542, and the Spaniards were acquainted with
their location hundred years or thereabouts
after; but the claim for their discovery il
made in behalf of Captain Cook, who col-
lided with them in 1878.
This claim amused the natives greatly, for
they had an idea that the group was iiscov-
cred some time previous.
"If not" they asked, ''how did we get
here?
In fact, the natives rather inclined to the
belief that they had discovered Captain
Cook. Imbued with this idea they invited
him to dinner, but as they utilized him in
the capacity of viands he did not enter into
hearty enjoyment of the meal.
1t was then the natives discovered him-to
be good eating.
From this incident you will have gathered
that when first visited by Europeans the
natives had al .nnoying habit of roasting
people and eating them.
This practice has been abandoned, how.
ever and now it is practically impossible to
secure plate of broiled man at a Kanaka
hotel, even the canned supply having be-
come exhausted.
The climate is one promotive of laziness,
owing to the large amount of caloric which
saturates the atmosphere in the vicinity Of
the islands. As consequence there isn't
much activity there, except that displayed
by the volcanoes.
One of these-Mauna Loa-is 13, 100 feet in
altitude.
Volcanoes come high, but the Sandwich
Islanders must have them.
Mauna Loa ought TO be called Mauna
Hier.

The kaleidoscope Of fashion as II
turns around gives US many shades and
combinations Of color. just now 1t
shows all the bright shades Of the rain
bow, together with many of the sober
tints.
Decidedly more color is seen In cos
tunes than has been the case for many
years. All the green's, even to pale apple
green and the tender hue Of young shoots,
are in high favor, as are heliotrope, violet,
primrose yellow and the new pinkish
crimson called Charles Z. These high
colors are seen in all the new goods,
plaided, striped and figured across the
surfaces of stuffs of quiet tints. Old rose,
old and porcelain blue, terra Gotta and
several shades of olive, moss and reseda
are some Of the more artistic shades in
vogue. White in combination with
decided colors is one of the fancies of the
season. For instance, very pretty for d
girl Of fifteen, was dress of old blue
cashmere, with full vest Of white surah
and puffs Of surah let into the sleeves at
the elbow. Heliotrope has enjoyed an
unprecedented popularity, and, It is said,
will now be superseded by green, which
is to be the leading color.
But 1t is in millinery that the most
scope is given for the display of bright
shades, and the bonnet is thus made the
objective point for the touch of color in
the costume. The lavish use of flowers,
ribbons, gauzes, crepes and feathers for
trimming affords sufficient variety. Com
binations are the rule, two colors at least
being seen on every bonnet and hat, a
vivid color relieving dark shade. Very
charming are little bonnets Of rough
braid, plated in several striking colors,
trimmed with ribbon IT the different
colors in the braid or drspery bows Of
velvet in two harmonizing shades; the
whole secured in place by skewers of
celluloid in imitation of horn or of tor
toise shell, supplemented by cluster of
velvet blossoms branched with q few
leaves. Bonnets of fancy lace braid are
also very light and pretty. The one in
the lower right-hand corner of our sketch

comparison we have adopted its inhabit-
ants might grow to a height of 100 feet
and over. Being situated at a distance
from Jupiter only a little greater
than three times the diameter of
that huge globe, the latter would shine
in the sky Of this moon with an appar-
ent diameter of some twenty degrees
that is to say, Jupiter would appear to its
inhabitants 1000 times as large as our
moon looks to us-a celestial phenomenon
of almost unimaginable magniicence. If
we accept the strongly probable theory
that Jupiter is still very hot, we see that
take the place of the sun in supplying
both light and heat to dwellers upon its
moons.
There would be considerable difference
In the stature of the Inhabitants of the
different moons of Jupiter owing to their
various sizes and densities, and Jupiter
would not look 80 large from the other
three moons as it would from the first.
Still, even from the outermost moon the
giant planet would appear many times
larger than our moon does to US.
When we come to compare the pigmy
inhabitants that we may reasonably sup
pose inhabit Jupiter, II he is as yet
fitted for any inhabitants whatever, with
the enormous giants who may be sup
posed to dwell upon his moons, we have
most interesting contrast; for Jupiter
and his moons form sort of system by
themselves. If the Goliaths of Jupiter's
moons could effect a landing upon
Jupiter, 1t might at first thought

Army Ofllcers Preferred.

Interior department authorities are
coming to the conclusion that the detail
of army officers for the care of Yellow
stone Park is preferable to the employ
ment of civilian superintendents, and it
is not unlikely that Secretary Lamar
will make recommendation to the COM
ing congress that for the present no fur
ther appropriation for salaries for civili-
an superintendents be made. The Park
bas never been better managed than un-
der Captain Harris, of the First Cavalry,
who has had charge of it since partisan
general in congress threw Col. Wear, of
Missouri, out of his job as superintend-
ent into better one as chief of division
in the pension office, and the secretary
is disposed to leave the Park in the
hands of army officers.
ut is cheaper" says chief of a divis-
ion of the interior department, "and as
long as we have no law to cover offenses
in the park, the discipline among visitors
will be better maintained. One of our
greatest hindrances in the management
of the park has been the lack of jurisdic-
tion over 1t by any legally constituted
authority. The only thing an officer
can do to an offender is to order him
out of the park. Under the circum-
stances, we think the army officers in
charge keep better discipline than civil
ians could. ld."-Washington Special.
